TOY SHOOTING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 739,010, dated September 15, 1903.

I Application filed February 25, 1903. Serial No. 144,952. No model.)

To all whom it mag concern):

Be it known that I, HUGO KIENZEL, manufacturer, a subject of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, residing at 10 Vorgebirgstrasse, Cologne, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Shooting Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to mechanism for toy shooting apparatus in which the coin, bullet, or like shot which is discharged from the firearm-on hitting the target or mark strikes a bell, so giving a temporary audible signal.

My new invention consists in an improvement in such apparatus, and provides a continuous audible signal'in place of the solitary stroke of the bell, which frequently cannot be heard.

According to my invention I provide an electric contact in the same manner as is done in automatic cash apparatus for giving an alarm-signal on the introduction of a false coin, the arrangement being such that when the mark is hit the shot completes a signalcircuit, whereby the signal is sounded until the shot is released by external means.

In the annexed drawings I have shown one construction of my improved mechanism for toy shooting apparatus.

through the apparatus, and Fig. 2 a vertical section on the'line A B of Fig. 1.

The construction and operation of the mechanism will be clear from the following description.

The pivotally-mounted pistol b of the appa- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectionratus is loaded with a coin, bullet, or other shot a of a certain definite size and is discharged at the slot 0, which constitutes the target or mark. On entering the slot the shot rolls down the receiving-channel d and is arrested by a roller-shaped stop 6 and the contact-spring f of an electric circuit. The shot a in this position depresses the spring f against an electric contact-screw g, wherebythe circuit is closed, so that the bell h at once a channel to receive the shot fired, a stop obstructing the passage of the shot through the channel, an electric circuit containing an audible signal, electric contact means contained in said circuit and closed on the arrest of the shot, and means for releasing the shot, all substantially as described.

Signed at Cologne, Germany, this 7th day of February, 1903.
